Earth could be thrown off its orbit and flung into another planet or even the Sun due to gravitational disturbances caused by passing stars, a new scientific study has warned.

Passing stars could trigger instability across the solar system, resulting in Earth being hauled out of its orbit.

No telescope has basked in the night sky quite like this before. Here's what it could reveal about the universe.

OF201, the object belongs to the same all-star family as Pluto: dwarf planets. Its diameter, roughly 435 miles (700 km), is ...

Cosmoknowledge's video highlights the cosmic forces protecting life on Earth. The Moon stabilizes our oceans and absorbs asteroid impacts, while Jupiter deflects space debris. The Sun's heliosphere ...

Scientists may have discovered a dwarf planet far beyond Neptune — an unearthing that may disprove a longstanding theory ...

Welcome to the universe of parallel playgrounds—where seesaws hover in anti-gravity capsules, and jungle gyms coil like strands of DNA on planets unexplored.

Many people hold Pluto close in their hearts and refuse to abandon the assertion that it is a planet, although science doesn't see it that way.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered that a hazy sky over frozen Pluto is helping to cool the dwarf planet's ...

Science. Goodbye to our Solar System as we know it: Astronomers confirm there is a new planet orbiting the Sun beyond Pluto Science. Extraordinary discovery in the animal kingdom: dolphins ...

For the unversed, "Planet Nine" is a hypothetical planet which is reportedly larger than Earth that is thought to orbit beyond Neptune.

Orbiting planets cause their stars to rock back and forth ever so slightly, as the planets’ gravity pulls the stars one way and another; that pull causes subtle, but measurable, shifts in the star’s ...
